Nick Diaz: I think its ridiculous that I'm not fighting Georges St. Pierre at UFC 137 (Video)

Photo

Nick Diaz has finally spoken and he's not happy about being removed from his welterweight title fight against Georges St. Pierre at UFC 137 on Oct. 29 in Las Vegas.

The Stockton slugger released a YouTube video in which he discussed his feelings on the events that occurred today, namely that he was taken out of his fight in favor of Carlos Condit thanks to no-showing two straight press conferences.

And while he didn't offer an exact explanation for not showing up, he did offer an apology of sorts:

"I'm sorry I didn't make it to the beauty pageant but I've never not showed up to a fight and I've never backed out of a fight in my life. It's not what I do. I just wanted to throw that out there."

That's not all he had to say ... not by a long shot. Watch the video he released after the jump and for those that can't watch, a transcription of what he said is included.

Star-divide

"Another YouTube video. Driving back from... Trying to get back to Stockton here. Trying to get back to Stockton here. I was down in San Franciso at the last minute trying to get on an airplane this morning to go to a press conference for the UFC. Wanted me to fight for the title against Georges St. Pierre and now they're telling me that they're going to give the fight to Carlos Condit, which I think is ridiculous. Georges thinks it's a great idea because Carlos Condit poses an even greater threat so I guess that just leaves me out. It's funny, one second I'm about to come into some money, do a little bit of boxing, probably lose some teeth but I'm ready to get paid.

"I'll fight whoever, whatever, anything. I'd definitely rather fight GSP of course but I was ready to do some boxing. And they didn't like that so they got me out of that. And they got me in the fight with GSP for the same money or more money or whatever but now it looks like they get to save money and I don't get paid and I'm locked in a new contract with all these deal makers making deals. All I know is I'm ready to fight. I'm sorry I didn't make it to the beauty pageant but I've never not showed up to a fight and I've never backed out of a fight in my life. It's not what I do. I just wanted to throw that out there. I don't know. What are you going to do? I'm ready to fight and I think that this is uh, pretty much done here. So, peace out."

I say give Fitch to Diaz

Fedor "The Can Crusher" Emeilianko IS NOT THE BEST HW EVER , in fact he sucks! he has the most padded record in the history of any combat sport, scratch that in the history of any sport. He has not changed as a fighter , he is still just as good as he was then, only difference is he isn’t fighting freaks and nobodies, I , along with many others have been duped into believing he is great, when clearly he is NOT! -I hate you the Dragon...one day

Actually that would be ok

Once Fitch wrestleraped 30-27 decision, Diaz’s title shot would look as much of a joke as Fedor

Zuffa is unpredictable

Buying Strikeforce (minor leagues). Pulling Overeem out of tournament. Headlining Overeem against Lesnar (the man who was the counter program to the heavy weight tournament).

Now Zuffa is pulling Diaz out of the GSP fight to save Diaz for Fox.

GSP threaten to make Diaz boring. Diaz vs Condit on Fox is better than Diaz vs Wrestler at UFC 137.

If GSP beats Condit, Diaz vs GSP on Fox is better than on PPV.

Sorry, Nick

But in the real world a job comes with certain responsibilities. You didnt appear to 2 press conferences in a row, so they replaced your ass. Youre lucky if you’re still employed by zuffa after this. I know damn well if I didnt appear to mandatory meetings where I work my ass would get canned.

and no, I’m not sorry for hating, this is the truth. There are fans who made sacrifices, paid their hard earned money to see you, and then you no show? No real apology, just childish behavior and comments on your part.

Now I’m not saying that the guy was ducking gsp, or wasnt going to show for the fight, but when you’re in the UFC (the biggest fucking fight promotion on the planet) they expect you to help promote the fight. Your own trainer called you childish. Maybe it’s time to take account for your own actions for once

Are you fucking stupid?

Do you even know what Diaz was expecting to make from this fight? I seriously doubt it. When it comes down to it, it’s about being a man of your word. He assured Dana that we would “play the game”. Did he do so? NO. Is he getting his paycheck for the biggest fight of his life? FUCK NO. Your IQ must be on the same level as Nick Diaz.

Diaz is playing the game

The game is do whatever Zuffa says.

If Zuffa says you are doing a Helwani interview, then slap, you will do that interview.

Diaz is helping to rescedule this fight by taking the fall.

Fox is the reason. Fox wants Diaz while GSP threatens to ruin another good spectacle with his wresltng exhibit,

Not to argue with you decepticon, but

Diaz stated from his own mouth he was about to have his big payday. If there is just one time in your life to ‘play the game’, it was then…and he blew it. It’s a shame, really. I was looking forward to a Diaz/GSP fight, regardless of the outcome. If someone offered me my big payday (if such a thing existed) but said it required I do a little PR for the company, you can bet your ass I’d be there on time and playing the part, even if I didn’t really want to.

I'm half joking to get a dig in to Zuffa's weak payroll.

Nick is at fault here. I do understand how debilitating anxiety can be. If Nick can somehow prove that this was the case, then maybe he gets a shot at the winner of Condit/GSP.

he shouldn't have signed the fucking contract that brought him over to the UFC

He chose to sign the contract in front of him. you have to be fucking retarded if you don’t think that attending Main Event Pressers is not written into that contract! Especially w/ Nick.
Beating 2nd tier fighters in a second tier promotion shouldn’t get you paid. Fighting the Champion in the best division in the best promotion will. All that fuctard had to do was play ball until fight night, and represented himself well during the fight.

my first priority as a vindictive prick of a boss would be to expose the fuck out of this guy. they had an idea of the risk involved w/ signing Nick, it bit them in the ass. i just can’t see Dana giving Nick a winnable fight. Perhaps he’ll let him get Fitched. Perhaps they’ll give him Kos and make it a heel vs heel match.
i say he gets Story. think about that. dudes coming off a lose (disrespect to Nick) he’s about 15 times stronger than Nick and he has a wrestling base. (achilles heel for Nick)
let us give Nick something to really bitch about, while we all point and laugh at him on his back.

In this day and age

being a fighter means playing the game so to speak…

I remember years ago I read or heard ( can’t remember what sports show it was on) that some of the best basketball players play street ball all across the country…the difference between those guys playing on the street and playing in the NBA is the guys in the NBA know how to “play the game”…meaning they do all the promo stuff…

same applies to diaz…he may be a UFC caliber fighter, but he has no idea how to"play the game"…part of your job then do it…if not keep driving your crappy honda or whatever car he was complaining about.

He DOES have the haggard look in that vid of someone who’s been doing other recreational substances the past few days however. I’m not saying he did, but he has that “wiped out” look on his face.

If Dana expects the UFC to become huge like the NBA, NFL, NHL, MBL, etc

…he’s going to have to accept the ridiculous shit that his athletes do….they bring guns to the locker room, facilitate dog fighting grand prix (plural), intentionally hit opponents face first into the boards, and shoot steroids to improve their performance….Dana is stubborn if he doesn’t accept these things as natural occurrences.

 And to add in the NFL if you don’t show up to media day before the Superbowl you will be suspended check out Robbins before the Raiders took on the Bucs. He was suspended for the biggest game of his life ….so Dana is following the big league sports. Smoke weed…you can fight, talk a bunch of BS you can fight , drive wrecklessly you can fight., not help promote your own fight(game) YOU CAN’T PLAY THE END

wonder if he sent a similar video to Gracie?

A lot of people keep talking about Diaz being a fighter and it shouldn’t matter if he skips media crap – he fights with his fists and is entertaining to watch in the cage. But he can also fight in other ways without his fists. He can fight for bigger paydays by honoring his contractual obligations when what he wants to do is flip the bird to the media. He can fight to make at least minimally responsible decisions that honor his coach, his gym, and his family. But he acts like a pretty selfish and immature kid.

The UFC is a business and the fighters sign contracts containing various obligations outside the ring. The fighters can negotiate and ask for things to be adjusted in the contracts. Nick signed his contract which included giving his word to participate in all the media crap. He further gave his word directly to DW that he would show up for the pressers. That media crap might not matter to me on fight night, but it does matter in terms of the business side of things. It equates more exposure in the media which equates to more PPV buys which equals more money in Diaz’s pocket.

If he could get rich via street fights, it seems like he’d be a whole lot happier in some back alley. Unfortunately, the big money is in the UFC cage and that comes with some obligations that many fighters don’t exactly enjoy. But it’s part of what helps put money in their pockets. It could have made Nick a very wealthy man. But he just doesn’t get it.

2 things to say about Diaz

First. This video provides some insight. He says, and shows, that he is driving back from San Francisco to Stockton. Why was he in San Francisco? To catch a flight to the press event. So why did he miss the flight? Was it intentional? Accidental? Who knows. But the fact that he was in San Fran at least shows intent to attend the Presser, and it may save him his job at least.

Second. This whole ordeal today brings to memory lines from a Lupe Fiasco song.

“In this world I’m so alone
In a category all on my own
Cause I tell the world what I want to”

Diaz is under heavy criticism right now from fans and haters alike. Childish, ducking, moron, stoner, idiot, etc, etc are words being tossed around heavily. But really, in any other context, (such as music, politics, editorial) Nick Diaz would be acclaimed. He doesn’t follow the mainstream, he doesn’t follow petty rules, he does what he wants to. He goes against the grain. He refuses to let himself to become a slave to the UFC, as many of us are slaves to our own work situations and social obligations. For better or for worse, Nick Diaz is a free man.

by makaveli158 on Sep 7, 2011 10:46 PM EDT reply actions  

I think

Many of us here wish we were as bold in real life as Nick is in his (minus the thuggish aura). How many of us here have the balls to tell our boss, “Piss off, I don’t wanna come in on Saturday.”? Not many of us. We see Nick as an idiot, but he likely sees us as cowards.

Obviously, Nick has the face the repercussions for his actions. But he lives one hell of a life that we will never experience.

Just some of my thoughts.

he cant pick up the phone and make a damn call?

I’m not gonna get credit at my job for just ‘trying’ to show up. As fans we do wanna “just see the fights”. I am pissed as this would have likely been an entertaining fight. But if DW starts letting the fighters piss on their contractual obligations MMA will be heading down the same path that destroyed boxing.

It’s okay to hold Nick accountable for his decisions. He was out of the UFC for a reason and when he signed his new contract, playing the media game was a part of it. Nick is like a kid whose parent’s threaten to pluck his eyebrows out one by one if he misses curfew yet again and then acts surprised when they follow through.

Time for Mr. Diaz to grow up.

Hmm
he cant pick up the phone and make a damn call?

Well part of my post was pointing out that we do not know why Nick did not make the flight and why he did not contact anyone. We simply do not know, anything else is pure speculation. Did he have a cell phone on him? Was his phone dead? Did he have a cell phone signal in San Fran airport? Who knows, we can guess all night long.

You are right that it is okay to hold Nick accountable for his decisions. Which was another point I made in my post. I for one, would rather have seen Dana White dock a percentage amount of Nicks pay as opposed to pulling him out of the fight all together.

This is an unfortunate outcome for Nick, Dana, the UFC, and fans alike. Everyone.

by makaveli158 on Sep 7, 2011 11:37 PM EDT up reply actions  

if he'd just missed one presser I'd be willing to give him the benefit of the doubt

For what it’s worth, I’ve been a fan of Nick Diaz the fighter since the Lawler fight. But Nick Diaz outside the ring? I sorta tolerate it to get to the fights. He can be an incredibly entertaining fighter, win or lose. I love his scrappiness in the cage even if he fought foolishly sometimes.

But he was out of the UFC for a reason. He knew this could happen — it was in his contract. He missed two pressers in succession and missed more than two flights to Toronto that the UFC rescheduled for him. Cesar offered to go with him to Toronto, then offered to drive him to the airport. People have been going out of their way to help Nick succeed in an area that he resists and resents. So, he missed the Toronto press crap. If he shows up in Vegas, Toronto’s gaff is off the books. But can he manage that? Nope.

Doesn’t have a cell-phone? Like the one he’s making the video with? Can’t borrow someone else’s or stop and use a phone somewhere? If this actually mattered to him in the way it should have, he would have moved heaven and frickin’ earth to make one damn phone call.

I’m out of patience. Everyone callin’ for DW’s head — this is on Diaz, end of story.

Actually Diaz reminds me of an American icon

Bobby Fischer. He always made everybody suck his dick every time something didn’t go his way, refused to promote himself or the chess matches, told everybody to go fuck themselves and admire his greatness. When people finally got sick of it after 1972, he pussed out to Karpov. They never thought he’d just hide somewhere in a shack, but he did. So they put Karpov against Kasparov and the rest is history.

Fischer, meanwhile, became a Jew-hating bearded freak who had to live his final days in Iceland because he told the U.S. government to go fuck themselves. Fischer, like Diaz, proves some men never grow up.

It’s sad too, because he had a chance but he has no one to blame but himself.

People need to get their narrow minded views and facts straight

I find it funny how the majority of the people on here continuously call Diaz a complete idiot, etc,etc., when if they had some sense and did a little homework on him they would (I hope) realize they’re wrong. to think of him as some lazy stoner who’s continuously whining in an effort to get more money, is laughable. The guy is definately not very articulate with his words, but he’s a smart man. Vocab and social attitude don’t have anything to do with intelligence. The fact that this guy is a smart fighter and that he does understand how it all works, tells me this. You can’t be an execellant, smart ground fighter/student of the game of mix martial arts…and be an idiot. Nick also reguarly competes in triathalons. this takes a ridiculous amount of discipline and training to do. Nick is an athlete..he’s an elite athlete to say the least. he may smoke dope, but who gives a shit really, if he’s clearly out getting hard exercise, training constantly. he’s an extremelly healthy dude who chooses to smoke and do his thing. I’m sure he feels great all day long to be honest, being in that good shape..power to him…we all wish we could do what he does.. of course he blew it by not showing up to the press conferences, and sure maybe he needs to sort some stuff out…but I had to set the record straight about Nick, as I see it.

I am definitely choking you

"It’s Mark Pavelich calling from the Maximum Fighting Championship,

I’ve just received notice that Drew Fickett or you, I don’t care which one of you fuckers did it, has signed a contract to fight in Strikeforce this fucking weekend. I’m going to get on a fucking plane soon and go where you’re at and choke you the fuck out. I’m telling you right now, I’ve had enough of your fucking shit. First of all, I’ve sent you the fucking pictures and secondly, I placed Drew Fickett in a fight fucking months ago and five weeks prior to my main event of my fucking fight card. You’re going to give me a fucking call tomorrow or I swear I’ll get on a fucking plane and go right where you’re at right now. You’re pissing me off, I’ve been nothing but professional to you motherfuckers and you’re doing this kind of bullshit, alright? Call me back, I’m fucking pissed."

I can see it both ways...

Dana should have realized this might be a problem and should have made precautions about the press-conference…not sure how but the fact is Nick got pulled for not doing a press conference…the question is who benefits from these press-conferences anyway? they seem pointless but all sports do them i guess

Nick on the other hand seems to be blaming the world and not taking responsibility…they wanted me to fight GSP? who’s they? what about the fans? what about proving something to you about fighting the best in the world?
Nick vs BJ would be kind of crazy and makes alot of sense…

 It’s pointless but all the sports do them? LOL They promote not only the fight but the sport, you don’t have these you don’t have media attention and these prove to bring in more viewers…(more money for you special people) and when your part of it your obligated to promote THE END.

I have never liked Nick Diaz and it pisses me off to know that he is a very talented fighter with no morals. He could be one of the best fighters of all time he had any discipline….but he doesn’t nor will he ever. Dana should have have never let him come back. I think that the UFC should set code of conduct like in other sports. Remember when Jessie on TUF had that drunken casino thing and Dana made a big deal out of it and took him off the fight card and spoke out about public image and the sport. Then a few days later Rampage had that police chase, made the news and got locked up and Dana did nothing and said nothing. It will always bug me how the UFC will always put money ahead of talent and pick and choose what is accepted on a day to day thing.

I Wish Nick Would Just Leave MMA

So he can stop taking up space on the interweb.

Dana was angry and scared

can’t have a guy like Diaz fight GSP. In the chance Nick get a crazy sub or cuts Georges, he is the new champ, and dude wont even show up for the pressers.

I wonder if the Cali cops

would be knobs enough to go to Nicks house and give him a ticket for being on his phone while driving? That would be hilarious.
